This is impossible in a land of lawyers, which is why the first Americans made it illegal to practice law in America.

Once this thing is in place and mostly debugged, mission creep will go on, until all references to “congestion” are stretched to breaking. Then it will be renamed, while the shearing business will continue to expand.

Until it hits hard enough that even the professors and State Department types feel it. At which point gasps will be emitted as it will be found to have gone too far.

Perhaps the matchboxes EV will have discount, seeing how ManBearPig is already mentioned. At some point the journalists (at least, those approved by MiniTru) will get free passes.
